We've just pushed a major update to all platforms. This update addresses several bugs reported by the community and some caught in our internal testing. Given the scope of changes, there is a non-zero chance that there might be issues with some existing save games. We apologize for the inconvenience.

• Bob now correctly lets you dispense sodas after giving his permission.
• Fixed dialogue getting stuck when reporting about PAL to Otis.
• Fixed Nimby's chasing animation getting stuck when trying to grab the vacuum.
• Completely reworked the door to the Chief's office to prevent sequence breaking.
• Updated several problematic shaders that would cause shaders not to load.
• Added a better visual cue for a certain item in Badgey's Cafe.
• Replaced a prop in Beluga Joe's to make a certain puzzle flow better.
• Addressed animations getting stuck when pushing ESC at the piano.
• Fixed a sequence break involving getting to the sewers early.
• Fixed being able to cut up the magazine several times.
• Fixed Abe and Loxley disappearing at the Plaza if ESC is used to skip a cutscene.
• Fixed the layering on for the tires for the Pegasus Roadmaster.
• And a few more minor fixes too small to list...

SteamOS and Linux will now default to a native Linux build. This might have the unfortunate side effect of saves not being compatible between the previous Proton build and the Linux build. We apologize for the inconvenience, but hopefully going forward this will maximize compatibility for our Linux friends! Please keep reporting any issues you might face through the in-game reporting tool. Our ability to test on Linux especially is limited, so every report helps.

We just pushed an update for an issue affecting the ending of the game.

• The "device" should now show correct location on the map when using the terminal.
• The ending dialogue should now trigger as expected.

We just released a fix tackling a gnarly progress issue, plus a few smaller non-breaking bugs.

• Fixed an issue with the Utility Room door not letting you back in from the Back Alley.
• Fixed Otis skipping other quest requirements if you reported youve taken care of PAL.
• Fixed laminating machine being usable even when you couldnt reach it.
• Added a comment when attempting to use a tumbler with the murky liquid in Joes back room.

It's time to get adventuring!
